Heroica RPG - Quest#102: Debts

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen hands her bedroll to Russel and Sir Pigley.

You look like you could use this more than I.

She then drinks a tonic.

I will take the first watch.

[Masked Builder]

"Alright guys, I'm resting. Don't wake me 'till morning. You won't like me if I don't get my beauty sleep." Alexis uses her bedroll.

[Zepher]

OoC: A clarification of the cape, because I'm afraid I didn't word things properly: assuming that confused (for example) is the first negative effect afflicted in the next battle, then the cape will protect against confused for the duration of that battle. It does not protect you only once per battle, it just protects against one thing per battle. Hopefully that's understood better, if there was in fact any confusion.

Nerwen does not have any regular tonics. I did not have her drink a grand tonic because its more of an investment. Just let me know what you want to do, Chromeknight! I didn't want to assume.

The Armored Reaper bows and retreats to her fortress.

"I wish you luck, heroes."

The party gets a good night sleep. XX twists and turns a little, and Nerwen rests with her legs crossed and her eyes almost open, making sure that no one disturbs the party. But the night passes uneventfully in front of the Reaper's fortress, and when the sun bursts into the sky the heroes begin to stir, feeling refreshed.

"Thank you for the bedroll, Lady Nerwen. You are a true scholar." Russel tosses back the bedroll.

"So we hit the road again? Who do we have left? That Mopag, the winged lady, Chauncey, right? Assuming we're leaving the Reaper like we found her." He throws a little salute at the fortress. "She wasn't all that bad. Held up her deal. Maybe I'll do business with her in the future. Seems a bit cold hearted, though. Not so much my style."

The heroes make their way onto the main road. The sun burns in the sky. The Fifth of the Week will be a sunny day, apparently.

As the heroes begin their travels towards Ve'er a voice calls out to them.

"Howdy-ho, fellow travelers!"

"Where are you headed? Oh, sorry, guess I should explain myself. My name is Malty, and I'm a traveling Minstrel. I'm on my way to Ve'er… but I hear the further from Eubric you get, the more dangerous the roads get - less policing and all that, around the smaller towns. Anyway, I'd really appreciate it if you let me travel alongside you, if you are heading that way. It could be a huge help, and I would feel much more safe with your numbers. I can carry my own weight too, I pinky pinky promise."

[Masked Builder]

"Hello there. I wouldn't object to having someone like yourself travel with us."

[StickFig]

I assume the cape works the same as Grimmau's Clothespin in Matthias' inventory?

Also, I think Purpearl's stats were missed - she did rest in a bedroll.

Matthias wakes up, quite refreshed and somewhat astonished that the party made it through an entire night without any 'goings-on'. He packs his things, happily shoulders his Peashooter, and jaunts along in the sunshine as they make their way to Ve'er. When Malty the Minstrel approaches, the gnome feels almost chipper. He plasters a dark grin on his face and says to the newcomer, "What makes you think our 'numbers' are 'safe', Master Malty?"

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen smiles in greeting at the minstrel.

Stars shine our meeting Naster Malty. that is a pleasant tune you are playing. What is it called?

[Purpearljellyblob]

"Nice to meet you, Malty. I'm Purpearl. We're traveling to Ve'er alright, you may join us if you wish. There is some mention about the road to Ve'er being dangerous, am I right?" Purpearl pauses for a moment. "Forgive me for being forthcoming, my words may not be music to your ears, but it's for the safety of everyone here. Mind letting us know your intention to visit Ve'er? Anything interesting that we might want to check out?"

[Zepher]

He plasters a dark grin on his face and says to the newcomer, "What makes you think our 'numbers' are 'safe', Master Malty?"

OoC: Not exactly, actually. Let's say that you are wearing the Regret's Cape. If in round one of the battle Purpearl rolls a special damage that gives her the confused effect, suddenly the Cape offers immunity to confused. It will function that way for the rest of the battle. Understand? Whereas Grimmau's seems to block only the first negative effect against you, the cape grants immunity to the first negative effect to come into play.

"Oh my!" cries Malty, but then, reading the expressions of the others, realizes that Matthias is really not all that dangerous. He chuckles at both the gnome and himself.

Nerwen smiles in greeting at the minstrel.

Stars shine our meeting Naster Malty. that is a pleasant tune you are playing. What is it called?

"Oh my, you heard that! What excellent ears. That song I was playing is called the Seven Stars for Seven Lords. It isn't in a language I know - I had to learn it phonetically - but it is a marvelous tune all the same and I know the general gist of the story, if it interests you!"

"Nice to meet you, Malty. I'm Purpearl. We're traveling to Ve'er alright, you may join us if you wish. There is some mention about the road to Ve'er being dangerous, am I right?" Purpearl pauses for a moment. "Forgive me for being forthcoming, my words may not be music to your ears, but it's for the safety of everyone here. Mind letting us know your intention to visit Ve'er? Anything interesting that we might want to check out?"

"Lovely. Thank you. Yes, I have heard that the road is dangerous as of late. As for my intention - I am a traveling Minstrel! I have been in this town for a good two weeks. Everyone tires of my songs eventually, so I must move on. Ve'er, Eubric, whichever... doesn't matter to me where I go as long as it's new. I've never been to Ve'er before, and I just came from Eubric, so I thought I may as well see the west of Uland. Thank you so much for letting me come along!"

The heroes set down the road, now with a new pal!

[StickFig]

Glad your computer is back, Zeph - the quest is on!

OoC: Not exactly, actually.

Hmmmmm... I get it, but now I see that I have read Grimmau's Clothespin wrong since I got it hahaha.

"Oh my!" cries Malty, but then, reading the exp<b></b>ressions of the others, realizes that Matthias is really not all that dangerous. He chuckles at both the gnome and himself.

Matthias joins Malty in the chuckle, but adds under his breath, "I am quite dangerous... and so are you, isn't that right Master Ruffers?" With that, he continues down the road.

"Curiosity. I'm glad you're learning and discovering as you travel around this region. One can read all about Uland in scrolls and books, but nothing beats having an adventure." Purpearl winks.

[Chromeknight]

Indeed, I would be happy to hear the tale, perhaps even learn the tune, we will have a little time on the road I think.

[Zepher]

"Only if he proves dangerous," says Russel with boisterous confidence.

The heroes set out on the road, but barely get five minutes into their journey (not enough time, even, for Malty to start his tale) when the run across a horse in the road, rearing up, whinnying wildly. Its rider is barely hanging on. The reason soon becomes clear... the roads are indeed dangerous.

"Travelers, help me!" cries the man.

"Been a while since I've seen one of these. Right, Alexis?"

The gnome grins at Purpearl, pulls on the Quickdraw Quiver (knocking off his Dapper Hat), and attacks the beast. "I hope you're feeling dangerous, singer," he winks to Malty, "because I am."

Nerwen holds her hand up.

Perhaps there is a simpler way to do this.

Alexis, you have demon repellant. If you use it on me, it cannot hurt me and is less likely to inflict bleeding or blunt my weapon since I can special guard. If Seraphiel appears, everyone can weigh in, otherwise I can just stand it off until it falls.

Nerwen's suggested battle order

Alexis v. Nerwen - demon repellant

Malty v. Party - Lucky Chant

Nerwen v. Master Chaos Beast - sword of the warrior of light

Purpearl -nothing

Matthias -nothing

Matthias -nothing

Russel and Sir Pigley -nothing

Russel and Sir Pigley -nothing

XX -nothing

Note: about PPJB's plan above, MCB is immune to enamoured (immune to all negative effects)

[StickFig]

Perhaps there is a simpler way to do this...

For a moment Matthias considers attacking anyway, but decides to follow Lady Nerwen's plan, at least for the moment. He motions the animals to stay back as well while the stern paladin stands against Chaos.

Who does that these days. Purpearl rolls her eyes as she lifts her ends of her dress with her fingers and bows ceremoniously. "Yes, your holiness."

I meant the hand as a 'stop' not as a 'I want to speak' motion.

Nerwen hefts her shield and steps forward. Ready.

[Purpearljellyblob]

Aren't you doing them both? C'mon. Have some fun.

[Masked Builder]

"That's for sure XX, wish we didn't though. You got it Nerwen." Alexis gets the Demon Repellent on Nerwen.

[StickFig]

Matthias rolls his eyes as the elves poke at one another... "Master Malty, those are the dangerous ones," he mutters, not intending to actually be heard.

[Chromeknight]

Nerwen looks back over her shoulder at Purpearl and winks.

You can dance with the next one.

Winking back at Nerwen,

"Right. I probably won't dance with anyone except Lord Aventine, because he pays."

[Masked Builder]

"One thing you must remember about elves Matthias, we have excellent hearing." She winks to him.

> Matthias: Change Dapper Hat for Quickdraw Quiver (did he get encouraged?)

> Matthias: Nothing

As I explained with Natural Respite (either here or in 107) I believe things I forget often should not be real effects. But also no, you did not, just rolled a five.

Matthias rolls his eyes as the elves poke at one another... "Master Malty, those are the dangerous ones," he mutters, not intending to actually be heard.

"I will be certain to keep an eye on them!" the singer declares merrily.

Minor Chaos Conflict Round One

Malty sings the Lucky Chant (-10 ether, all heroes lucky)

Alexis uses Demon Repellent on Nerwen

Nerwen v. Chaos Beast - Critical Hit (([14*2]+31*2*2)-5=231 Damage Dealt)

>Russel - Does Nothing

>Russel - Does Nothing

The heroes are incredibly generous to the voice in the sky, and make the combat nice and simple! Nerwen strides forward and deals the Demon a terrific blow. It cries out the sound of a thousand distant souls in anguish. Ink leaks forward from it. It is clear to Alexis, having dealt with Chaos Beasts before, that this is not a particularly well made one. With the wound, the beast begins to bleed relatively freely - as if it was barely held together in the first place!

Chaos Beast loses 10 health due to bleeding
